Reading for a Rainy Day - John Hartig - Bog

This is a collection of 2 short stories by John Hartig. The first is Battle of the Violins which is science fiction, a time travel yarn about James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. His mission? To bring 6 of the best violinists in history back to the future to have a fiddle contest at the Hollywood Bowl in the year 2328 to see who is the best of the best of all time. The second story is a novella about a 1764 murder mystery. Violinist and composer of the Baroque Era, Jean-Marie Leclair, was stabbed to death just outside of his own house. Who done it? It could have been the nephew who was envious and wanted his uncle to promote his name before King Louis XV. It could have been the ex-wife, Louise Roussel, who was engraver and made money out of publishing Leclair's musical manuscripts. This is great reading for a rainy day...or anytime!
